Verander een lange tabelkolom in een tabel met meerdere kolommen

Laten we zeggen dat de tafel mytable heet en dat het er zo uitziet:

CREATE TABLE mytable
(
    X VARCHAR(10)
);

Laten we het laden met voorbeeldgegevens

mysql> drop database if exists user1267617;
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.10 sec)

mysql> create database user1267617;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> use user1267617
Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE mytable (X VARCHAR(10)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)

    -> ('J'),('K'),('L'),('M'),('N'),('O'),('P'),('Q'),('R'),
    -> ('S'),('T'),('U'),('V'),('W'),('X'),('Y'),('Z');
Query OK, 26 rows affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> select * from mytable;

Hier is de code die je nodig hebt:

CREATE TABLE mytmp
(
    id int not null auto_increment,
    X varchar(10),
    groupnum int,
    groupndx int,
    primary key (id)
);
INSERT INTO mytmp (X) select X from mytable;
UPDATE mytmp SET groupndx = MOD(id - 1,4),groupnum = FLOOR((id - 1)/4);
alter table mytmp add index (groupnum);
select * from mytmp;
CREATE TABLE mynewtable
(
    id int not null auto_increment,
    groupnum int,
    colA varchar(10) default '',
    colB varchar(10) default '',
    colC varchar(10) default '',
    colD varchar(10) default '',
    key (groupnum),
    primary key (id)
);
insert into mynewtable (colA,groupnum)
select X,groupnum from mytmp where groupndx = 0;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=1 set A.colB = B.x;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=2 set A.colC = B.x;
update mynewtable A INNER JOIN mytmp B ON A.groupnum=B.groupnum
AND B.groupndx=3 set A.colD = B.x;
alter table mynewtable drop column groupnum;
select * from mynewtable;

Hier is het resultaat:

mysql> CREATE TABLE mytmp
    -> (
    ->     id int not null auto_increment,
    ->     X varchar(10),
    ->     groupnum int,
